You have to challenge your muscle fibers with heavier weight loads and more intensity to build that lean tight muscular body.

By pushing your body to do more than it can currently handle, you incentivize your body to grow stronger, tighter and firmer. So, start off with barbell movements, then dumbbells and machines and finish off with isolation work.

2. TRAIN TO BUILD MUSCLE, NOT TO LOSE FAT

Your goal when weight training is to build muscle, period. Your goals is not to burn fat by training with lots of reps and little break in between sets. Train hard and with heavy weights to build muscle.

When you have more muscle your body burns more fat all day without doing anything. The more muscle you build, the more fat you burn in turn when resting. So, focus on training to build muscle.

3. DO CARDIO AFTER YOUR WEIGHT TRAINING

Don’t do cardio before your weight training session. You want to come in fresh and have all the energy you need to lift hard and heavy to build that lean tight muscular body.

Weight train and then do a moderate 30 minute cardio session. You can drink a post-workout whey protein shake right before or after the cardio session.

4. EAT MORE HIGH NUTRIENT MEALS

Don’t go for long periods without eating nutrient rich meals. Plan your meals so that you provide your body with sustained energy, protein and nutrients throughout the day to recover and build muscle. Make sure to drink water throughout the day as well.

5. PRIORITIZE YOUR PROTEIN

When building muscle, you have to prioritize your protein intake. Make sure to get at least 24 grams of protein in the morning and right after working out.

Also, make sure each of your meals contains a decent amount of protein. Don’t eat just carb and fat meals. Aim to consume 1 gram of protein per lbs of body-weight per day.
